bakeries \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As a born and bred Jewish New Yorker, I recently started craving rye bread. Nostalgic for a taste of lower Manhattan, I began searching the East Bay and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/bayareabites/126157/san-francisco-bakeries-doing-the-rye-thing\">San Francisco\u003c/a> for fresh-baked rye and found ten guide-worthy bakeries making quality loaves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having lived half my life in the Bay Area, I've developed a California conscience about knowing where my food comes from. And, in my quest for satisfying my appetite, it has become equally important to know the best business practices of companies supplying products I crave, and ultimately purchase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, in searching for rye bread, besides taste, texture, and loaf longevity; I also wanted to know about the bakeries choices regarding: source and quality of ingredients, environmentally-conscious production processes, benefits for employees and hiring practices, community involvement, and altruistic endeavors. My intention was to not only satisfy my yen but to also support local bakeries doing the right thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was open to exploring and tasting a variety of types beyond the classic Jewish deli rye and found a range of styles originating from mostly European countries. The bakeries in this guide are primarily based in the East Bay but four out of the six businesses distribute their products within stores throughout the Bay Area. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Historically, dark rye was a staple back in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.medievalists.net/2013/07/bread-in-the-middle-ages/\">Middle Ages\u003c/a> and was typically the bread for lower classes, while lighter wheat was reserved for upper class folks. The wheat bread was considered healthier and easier to digest, and during this period a horrific illness known as \"holy fire\" or “\u003ca href=\"http://www.botany.hawaii.edu/faculty/wong/BOT135/LECT12.HTM\">Saint Anthony's fire\u003c/a>” reached epidemic proportions. The origin of this syndrome remained a mystery until 1670 when a French physician, Thuillier, discovered that the cause of this illness, now known as \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1637017/\">ergotism\u003c/a>, was \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4379517/\">ergot\u003c/a> poisoning from infected rye bread. Currently, technology to sanitize grains has \u003ca href=\"https://www.researchgate.net/publication/272479115_Cases_of_ergotism_in_livestock_and_associated_ergot_alkaloid_concentrations_in_feed\">eliminated ergotism as a human disease\u003c/a> but it remains a problem with livestock and other animals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rye_bread\">whole grain rye bread\u003c/a> is seen as a healthy alternative to white bread because it is high in fiber, low in fat, and has a lower \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycemic_index\">glycemic index\u003c/a>—which results in less of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/carbohydrates/carbohydrates-and-blood-sugar/\">spike in blood sugar\u003c/a> after eating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you are concerned about gluten, you should know that rye is not gluten-free, but it does have less gluten than wheat. However, this is why wheat flour is typically included in rye bread—to compensate for \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rye_bread\">rye's lower gluten levels\u003c/a>, which along with the enzyme rye amylase, inhibits the dough from rising. Naturally fermented sourdough starter helps the leavening process as well but most pure rye-only breads, like German-style \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpernickel\">pumpernickel\u003c/a>, are extremely dense. All the ryes featured in this guide include some wheat flour in the ingredients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_125537\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-125537\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new.jpg\" alt=\"Rye Breads from East Bay bakeries\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rye Breads from East Bay bakeries \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tasting the Rye\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe rye tasting was based on sampling the fresh bread plain and then tasting it as toast with unsalted butter.

You can smell the sourdough as well as taste the sweetness from the cider. The consistency is almost cake-like when plain.

The origin of this syndrome remained a mystery until 1670 when a French physician, Thuillier, discovered that the cause of this illness, now known as \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1637017/\">ergotism\u003c/a>, was \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4379517/\">ergot\u003c/a> poisoning from infected rye bread.

All the ryes featured in this guide include some wheat flour in the ingredients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_125537\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-125537\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new.jpg\" alt=\"Rye Breads from East Bay bakeries\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0534-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rye Breads from East Bay bakeries \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tasting the Rye\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe rye tasting was based on sampling the fresh bread plain and then tasting it as toast with unsalted butter.

You can smell the sourdough as well as taste the sweetness from the cider. The consistency is almost cake-like when plain.

This rye batard is predominantly made from whole rye flour but has some wheat in it and is a flatter more compact loaf. Toasted with sweet butter, this classic bread develops a crispier crust and the flavors deepen. On day three, the bread was still moist but is a bit harder and drier, but still toasted up nicely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_125632\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0404-new.jpg\" alt=\"Firebrand's German Rye Batard\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-125632\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0404-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0404-new-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0404-new-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0404-new-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0404-new-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0404-new-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0404-new-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0404-new-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0404-new-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/IMG_0404-new-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Firebrand's German Rye Batard \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Firebrand's \u003cem>Sprouted Rye Batard\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Sprouted Rye Demi Baguette\u003c/em> are made from the same ingredients but delivered in a different style of bread.

It's a good sandwich bread since the crust is not hard and the closed crumb is soft with a uniform consistency.

The bread lasts longer, thanks to microbes that produce acids and antibiotic compounds, preventing spoilage. Evidence also suggests sourdough is better for digestion. And, most importantly, it tastes better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's nothing new about sourdough. It has been around for millennia, since the first bakers — perhaps in the Middle East — noticed that, after a couple of days, their gruel of grains and water started to bubble. Nearly all leavened bread in the world came from sourdough: from the French baguette to the Chinese \u003cem>mantou\u003c/em>, from East African injera to the famous San Francisco sourdough, developed at \u003ca href=\"https://www.boudinbakery.com/meetboudin/\" target=\"_blank\">Boudin bakery\u003c/a> in 1849. Sourdough doesn't have to be sour, and the term simply refers to any bread made from wild yeasts and bacteria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today's store-bought bread relies on commercial yeast, a single species called \u003cem>Saccharomyces cerevisiae\u003c/em>. Food scientists first isolated and developed it in the 19th century for its consistency and fast-rising times. But not taste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sourdough starters, though, vary widely. You can make and maintain one with only wheat flour and water.

Jolley Sr. He first got the starter from a sheep camp in Provo, Utah, which likely got it from Mormon settlers in the late 1800s. Her mom made sourdough pancakes every Sunday. \"I almost feel like I'm addicted to sourdough,\" says Poulsen, who now lives in East Palo Alto, Calif. \"I can keep eating them; I crave them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carina Westling of Brighton, U.K., got her rye starter 25 years ago in Sweden from a friend. Her friend's family had taken it with them when they fled Estonia in World War II, the starter being vigorous enough to have eaten through its bag during the journey. Before then, the starter had been in the family for perhaps more than 150 years. \"It's not my tradition, but I've been honored to carry a part of that tradition forward,\" Westling says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family starter was one of the few things Liz Terhune packed in her car when she moved across country to Las Vegas. \"It's a family heirloom to me,\" she says. \"It's more important to me than things.\" Her great-aunt, who got the starter in the 1950s from a crab fisherman in Alaska, used to make sourdough pancakes for her and her sister during the summer. The starter likely originates from at least the late 1800s, Terhune says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you want a starter with a unique pedigree, you can buy it from places like \u003ca href=\"http://www.sourdo.com/our-sourdough-cultures-2/\" target=\"_blank\">Sourdough International\u003c/a>, which has collected starters from bakers around the world, from Saudi Arabia to New Zealand. Each one, the company says, features its own distinct flavor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some say a starter's microbial community changes — and so does its flavor— once you bring it to a different environment. \"There's no reason for people to go chasing special pedigrees,\" says Sandor Katz, author of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.wildfermentation.com/the-art-of-fermentation/\" target=\"_blank\">Art of Fermentation\u003c/a>. \"It's going to be all about what you feed it and the technique of how often you're feeding it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The truth is, no one knows for sure, says \u003ca href=\"http://robdunnlab.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Rob Dunn\u003c/a>, a biologist at North Carolina State University. Lab experiments have revealed the basic biochemistry of sourdough, but no one has yet explored the diversity found in the real world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What food scientists have mainly been about is the average story, but not understanding the variation — even though what eating is about is the beauty of that variation,\" Dunn says. \"We know enough to ask really good questions, but we don't know enough to know the answers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is why Dunn is starting the \u003ca href=\"http://robdunnlab.com/projects/sourdough/\" target=\"_blank\">Sourdough Project\u003c/a>. He and other researchers are soliciting home bakers to submit their starters for analysis. By sequencing the starters' DNA, the researchers can assemble a census of sourdough biodiversity and analyze variations in pH levels, enzyme production and other aspects of its biochemistry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How does it affect the starter if you feed it milk instead of water? How does the feeding schedule influence the microbes? Do geography and climate matter? Or, whether the baker is a man or woman? Women, Dunn tells me, tend to have more bacteria called lactobacilli on their bodies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113105\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5.jpg\" alt=\"Flour and water on the left; just starter on the right.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1328\" class=\"size-full wp-image-113105\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5.jpg 2000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5-800x531.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5-768x510.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5-1020x677.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5-1180x784.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5-960x637.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5-240x159.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5-375x249.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5-520x345.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flour and water on the left; just starter on the right. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Lea Shell/Sourdough Project)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To see how individual differences manifest themselves in bread, the researchers plan a big bake-off next summer.

The goal is to see whether different people with different genetics and different microbes on their bodies have any effect on the starters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, Dunn says, the researchers want to identify which microorganisms make the best-tasting loaf. Ideally, they'll bake thousands of loaves with different starters and enlist chefs and bakers to judge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we know what's in [a starter], we can predict what abilities it might have, what flavors it might have,\" he says. \"For me, that's kind of a fun one, because all that flavor stuff is super magical and not very quantitative, and yet it's measurable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It will still be months before answers start to trickle in.

Jolley Sr. He first got the starter from a sheep camp in Provo, Utah, which likely got it from Mormon settlers in the late 1800s. Her mom made sourdough pancakes every Sunday. \"I almost feel like I'm addicted to sourdough,\" says Poulsen, who now lives in East Palo Alto, Calif. \"I can keep eating them; I crave them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carina Westling of Brighton, U.K., got her rye starter 25 years ago in Sweden from a friend. Her friend's family had taken it with them when they fled Estonia in World War II, the starter being vigorous enough to have eaten through its bag during the journey. Before then, the starter had been in the family for perhaps more than 150 years. \"It's not my tradition, but I've been honored to carry a part of that tradition forward,\" Westling says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family starter was one of the few things Liz Terhune packed in her car when she moved across country to Las Vegas. \"It's a family heirloom to me,\" she says. \"It's more important to me than things.\" Her great-aunt, who got the starter in the 1950s from a crab fisherman in Alaska, used to make sourdough pancakes for her and her sister during the summer. The starter likely originates from at least the late 1800s, Terhune says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you want a starter with a unique pedigree, you can buy it from places like \u003ca href=\"http://www.sourdo.com/our-sourdough-cultures-2/\" target=\"_blank\">Sourdough International\u003c/a>, which has collected starters from bakers around the world, from Saudi Arabia to New Zealand. Each one, the company says, features its own distinct flavor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some say a starter's microbial community changes — and so does its flavor— once you bring it to a different environment. \"There's no reason for people to go chasing special pedigrees,\" says Sandor Katz, author of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.wildfermentation.com/the-art-of-fermentation/\" target=\"_blank\">Art of Fermentation\u003c/a>. \"It's going to be all about what you feed it and the technique of how often you're feeding it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The truth is, no one knows for sure, says \u003ca href=\"http://robdunnlab.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Rob Dunn\u003c/a>, a biologist at North Carolina State University. Lab experiments have revealed the basic biochemistry of sourdough, but no one has yet explored the diversity found in the real world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What food scientists have mainly been about is the average story, but not understanding the variation — even though what eating is about is the beauty of that variation,\" Dunn says. \"We know enough to ask really good questions, but we don't know enough to know the answers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is why Dunn is starting the \u003ca href=\"http://robdunnlab.com/projects/sourdough/\" target=\"_blank\">Sourdough Project\u003c/a>. He and other researchers are soliciting home bakers to submit their starters for analysis. By sequencing the starters' DNA, the researchers can assemble a census of sourdough biodiversity and analyze variations in pH levels, enzyme production and other aspects of its biochemistry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How does it affect the starter if you feed it milk instead of water? How does the feeding schedule influence the microbes? Do geography and climate matter? Or, whether the baker is a man or woman? Women, Dunn tells me, tend to have more bacteria called lactobacilli on their bodies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113105\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5.jpg\" alt=\"Flour and water on the left; just starter on the right.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1328\" class=\"size-full wp-image-113105\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5.jpg 2000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5-800x531.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5-768x510.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5-1020x677.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5-1180x784.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5-960x637.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5-240x159.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5-375x249.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/flour-starter_enl-902a807a3ea5ce686706116349bf7f7939f6d9b5-520x345.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flour and water on the left; just starter on the right. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Lea Shell/Sourdough Project)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To see how individual differences manifest themselves in bread, the researchers plan a big bake-off next summer. They will get 20 bakers together, sequence their DNA (as well as the microbes on their bodies), and have them make starters and bake bread, then compare the results. The goal is to see whether different people with different genetics and different microbes on their bodies have any effect on the starters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, Dunn says, the researchers want to identify which microorganisms make the best-tasting loaf. Ideally, they'll bake thousands of loaves with different starters and enlist chefs and bakers to judge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we know what's in [a starter], we can predict what abilities it might have, what flavors it might have,\" he says. \"For me, that's kind of a fun one, because all that flavor stuff is super magical and not very quantitative, and yet it's measurable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It will still be months before answers start to trickle in.

I killed my sourdough starter. It had a very well-meaning life, and when it was good, it was really superb (in my \u003cstrong>pizza dough\u003c/strong>). It was strong, at least in it’s youth. But the other morning, when I was clearing out the refrigerator in preparation for Christmas, I came across it, pushed into the back of the fridge, forlorn and forgotten. How could I?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surprisingly, I managed to keep it going for nearly a year--my longest sourdough stint yet. It started life in Napa; we made it during a photo shoot for a cookbook I was editing, \u003cem>Williams-Sonoma Family Meals\u003c/em>. We made a ton, and doled it out to the entire team, each Mason jar lovingly labeled with a hand-written tag courtesy of 9-year-old Ella. I think, with the exception of Maria the author, mine was probably the only one that survived. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now it's gone. And since it is the time of year for new beginnings and new resolutions, and because I’m currently snowed in and housebound with my entire family for Christmas (in the arctic storm of the century in Portland Oregon) and looking for something to keep us busy so we don't kill each other, I’m going to make another batch. (If you find yourself in the same situation this holiday, I recommend something similar.) But this year I resolve to keep it alive. And to embark on many more culinary adventures in the year to come. Possibly involving my new starter. But this is only the beginning...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How To Make A Sourdough Starter\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThere are as many different ways to make starter as there are names for it (some of my favorite names include mother, chef, biga, and poolish). I’ve seen recipes using grapes, raisins, even rhubarb! Some use water, some use milk or yogurt, and some even use the water that you’ve boiled potatoes in. This one was inspired by Maria's and by one I made in culinary school way back when.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n2 cups unbleached bread flour\u003cbr>\n2 cups smushed organic grapes\u003cbr>\n2 cups warm water\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Procedure:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2008/12/starter2.jpg\" alt=\"starter day 1\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Day 1:\u003c/strong> Mix the flour, grapes, and water together in a glass or ceramic bowl.

It can take a while though (even up to 5 days or so), depending upon the room temperature and the amount of yeast in the air. So be patient!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once your starter is bubbly, add 2/3 cup warm water and stir until combined. Strain out the grapes through a large mesh sieve. Discard the grapes and feed the starter with 1/2 cup bread flour, stirring to combine.

If it grows too big though, you either need to start making some bread or give it as a gift to your friends and family!
